Necropsy details are required for every golden and golden-headed
lion tamarin that dies. Send the Studbook Keeper the necropsy
report as soon as it is available (see address below). The
Necrospy Form can be used to provide necropsy details.

Of special interest:

Check for Diaphragmatic Hernias!

Send female reproductive organs to Dr. Linda Munson. This
is particularly important if the female has had contraceptive
implants. (see addresses below)

All carcasses should be disposed of at a local museum
or university in a study collection or sent to the Smithsonian's
Natural History Museum. Here
for details.

If there are any unusual events
or findings associated with a tamarin's death, contact
the SSP Pathology Advisor, Dr. Richard Montali at the National
Zoo (see address below).
